It had been several years since I had flown to Rock Springs, but the memories came back as I boarded the Beech 1200D turboprop, a plane I have repeatedly referred to as a trash can with wings. This plane at least had a little bit of insulation on the interior walls, and I was glad I had my headphones this time. It was this plane’s loudness that caused me to get the Bose headphones; foam earplugs were not enough. There were no flight attendants on this flight; they would have trouble stepping over the wheel well in the aisle while serving drinks.
